This is the first in the Code of Shadows series, a new cross genre series by Carolyn Crane which she describes as paranormal romantic suspense. Release date is October 30, 2012!!

Okay, I am loving that cover. The artwork was done by Angela Waters. We at Badass are huge fans of Ms. Crane’s work, check out our reviews of Mind Games, Double Cross, and Head Rush and our fun interview of her here. I love romantic suspense and I enjoy paranormal and I love Carolyn Crane’s write so I guess that means come October 30th I know what I will be reading. Here is her official book blurb:

The girl of his dreams…with the secret agent of his nightmares.

Alix Gordon is a girl who doesn’t take life too seriously. What’s the fun in that? So when she stumbles across occult software that can bring computer images to life, she conjures up awesome outfits and accessories, and on one drunken and…er…horny night, Sir Kendall, the sexy TV ad spy…who looks exactly like the hot martial arts teacher who once kicked her out of class.

Fighter Paul “Puma” Reinhardt has a secret: the character he improvised to land a part in a TV ad has dark roots in his tortured childhood. Playing Sir Kendall was a huge mistake, and now Paul would do anything to get free of him. A cross country road trip seems just the thing…until Paul finds himself inexplicably drawn to Minnesota and discovers Sir Kendall—in the flesh—with the girl he’d loved from afar. He barges into Alix and Sir Kendall’s love nest, determined to stop the madness…somehow.

But is Sir Kendall transforming into something more dangerous anyone can imagine? And what will the super spy do when Paul and Alix get over their resentments and give into their crazy lust for each other?

Thanks to Carolyn Crane for allowing us to partake in this fabulous Cover Reveal!

Oh yay!! I love it!! I can’t wait!! I love the Disillusionists series and I can’t wait to read more from Ms. Crane! Sir Kendall sounds yummy and how fun it is that Alix and Paul have a past together. I’m looking forward to finding out more about it!
